    The anti 15 minute city thing is really so incredibly stupid. Anyone who’s ever lived in a walkable city knows that it is vastly superior to anything based around cars.

      15-minute city, 30-minute city, 57¼-minute city…

      These are average commute times. Why do you oppose short average commute times?


      That’s what I’d say to these people if I ever encountered them. I’m not about to head over to their websites to talk to them.

            If their position changes constantly, they can be kept in a perpetual state of fearful, hateful ignorance.

    I have no idea why I assumed their propaganda-version of the 15 minute city still included the “walkable” part. This is even dumber and funnier.

      It is even a bit more perfidious than that, the gate chosen is that of Auschwitz, it is actually holocaust denial and or negation of the Nazi crimes to overstretch political points. The 15 minute city is not aimed at eliminating Jews, LGBTQ*, Neurodivergent, Socialists, Roma and Sinti etc.

      This conspiracy theory picture does combine elements of car brain sentiment with anti change and anti minority and classist elements to redraw lines of who are victims and what the problems are. It is evil, which connects with the “all seeing eye” to former antisemite theories, too, as well as NWO conspiracies.

        The artist of the original picture is David Dees, an antisemitic conspiracy theorist who believes

        Karl Marx created communism as part of a Jewish plot to depopulate the earth of white people.

        Any holocaust denial is by design.

          Thanks for adding that. Once you are aware enough you seem to spot antisemitism everywhere, but then often it turns out it is everywhere.

            It helps that he was more explicit in his antisemitism in other pictures.

    Why would 15 minute cities have everyone on 100 mile stretches of highway in the middle of nowhere?

    Where is the city? Are these people driving at 400 miles an hour to get there in 15 minutes?

    So toll lanes, cameras, cell towers, and cars with licence plates (that can be looked up in a public database for personal data) are what 15 minute cities are? No you ignorant fucks, that’s what we have now! And yet you’ll call it freedom… More like kiss my ass and keep dreaming bucko, your reality of cities with tracking and surveillance already exist and you have the AUDACITY to call it freedom. Fuck off mate.
